People rarely if ever admit that they are hypocrite in some area (although all of us are to a certain extent). I learned this a long time ago.

Put Brooklyn, Orlando, Portland, New Orleans, Sacramento, and San Antonio into a group. Play round robin and take top 2 teams and make them seeds 15 and 16 where they would play Bucks and Lakers.

I’m a hypocrite that I normally lambast the NBA for playing too many games and allowing too many teams into the playoffs, but I want to see MORE ZION!!!
I like the idea, given the uniqueness of our current situation, of doing a 24 team World Cup style tournament with a knockout round. That sounds like a fun and relatively fair way to get something that feels like a real championship.
Mostly, I just want sports back and don’t really care how they do it.

Seriously?
If the Pels were top 8 and the choices were they go straight to the playoffs or have a play in, Pels fans would melt over a play in.
This isn't unique to Pels fans, but let's not pretend like this isn't how it would go.
Switching a 8 and 10 seed would be just a screw job. Doing a play in doesn't reward the 8 seed for having a better record than the other play in participants. If the shoe was on the other foot, it would be a problem.
Once again I disagree with this. Don't judge everyone based on what you would do in a situation. If the Pelicans were in Memphis' position and the NBA decided to give opportunities to the teams right on our heels, you would not see me on here protesting. Would I be happy if they went straight to the playoffs and my team benefited? Of course I would but it wouldn't anger me if they didn't because I wouldn't feel like my team got shafted. That's why I don't advocate for any scenario that the Grizzlies lose their spot except by playing out the season. I would actually like an somehow expanded playoffs that included the Pels or some play in option that is weighted towards Memphis because of their lead. The Pelicans were 3 back, had 2 more games to play against Memphis, and had blasted them the previous 2 times they met. If I was a Grizzlies fan I don't see how I could get upset at that team getting a chance to earn a spot.

Absolutely no doubt.
That does't make any more or less logical, but yeah people would be bitching, of course.

I didn't mean every Pels fan. No fanbase all responds the same way.
In general, I just mean if the Pels were presumptively in and the NBA announced they'd have to play their way in, you'd get a lot fewer Pels fans saying that was fair as opposed to now, when a play in benefits their team.
Like I said, that's not unique to the Pels fan base either. Just that the overall reaction would be different and fewer people would jump up to say a play in was fair.

Any team in the league would be doing the same as Pels fans now if in their situation.
